An interventional study of Kinesiologic Tape Group and Drain Group in Impacted Third Molar Tooth, sponsored by Konya Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-12-26.
Sponsored by Konya Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The investigator's purpose was to compare the effects of the surgical drain and kinesiologic tape applications on postoperative morbidity after mandibular third molar surgery.
A total of 90 patients will be scheduled for impacted third molar surgery. The patients will be divided into 3 groups.All surgeries will be carried out by the same surgeon. Group A will be treated with kinesiologic tape, Group B will be treated with a surgical drainage tube and Group C will be control group. After surgery in control group, routine surgical extraction will be performed.The investigators will compare postoperative pain, swelling, trismus and patients' comfort.
The duration of each procedure from the start of the incision to the time of last suture placement will be noted.
Patients are recalled on days 2, 7, 14 postoperative pain, facial swelling, maximum mouth opening, wound dehiscence. For the assesment of the pain, visual analog scale will be used. For the swelling evaluation, measurement will be done from the different three region on the face:
Maximum mouth opening will be noted before and after (one week later) the surgery.
195 studies on the registry are indexed under Tooth, Impacted; 20 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 53 across 164 interventional studies indexed under Tooth, Impacted.

Exclusion Criteria:
After the routine impacted third molar surgery, the kinesiologic tape will be prepared individually for each patient; it will be cut into three equal strips (approximately 1.6 cm in width) and placed between the clavicle and the tragus-commissura line. Kinesiologic tape will be removed on the second postoperative day, and all sutures on will be removed on 7. postoperative day.
Procedure: Kinesiologic Tape Group
After routine impacted third molar surgery, plastic non-customised drain tube (2-cm long, 2-mm diameter) will be inserted into a vertical incision between the first and second molars and sutured to the vestibular mucosa.
Procedure: Drain Group
Routine third molar extraction will be performed. No extra procedures will be done after surgery.
Other: Control Group
A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised, a conventional rotary handpiece will be used under irrigation for removing the third molar.Primary wound closure will be accomplished using 3-0 silk sutures.The kinesiologic tape will be prepared individually for each patient; it will be cut into three equal strips (approximately 1.6 cm in width) and placed between the clavicle and the tragus-commissura line. The patients will be invited after one week for removing the sutures.

Routine third molar extraction will be performed. No extra procedures will be done after surgery.
Swelling will be assessed using paper ruler. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus.
Swelling measurement will be done from the different three region on the face. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus. The swelling measurement will be done preoperatively, postoperative 2nd day, 7th day after the surgery.
Time frame: Up to 1week
Pain will be assessed using a visual analogue scale.
The level of postoperative pain will be evaluated using a 10-cm visual analogue scale , with zero representing no pain and 10 representing excruciating pain. Pain measurement will be done everyday in one week after the surgery.
Time frame: Up to 1week
Trismus will be evaluated using a caliper at maximum mouth opening.
Trismus will be assessed by measuring the maximum interincisal opening (in millimetres) - the distance between the incisal margin of the upper and lower central incisors. Trismus measurement will be done preoperatively, postoperative 2nd day, 7th day after the surgery.
Time frame: Up to 1week
